Walking in Croxley Green
Croxley Green offers many opportunities for walking, from a gentle VILLAGE WALK to the very scenic 10km BOUNDARY WALK. Why not try one of the CROXLEY LOOPS or explore the COMMON MOOR? Each page shows a map and description of the route as well as points of interest along the way.
Beating the bounds has long been a countryside tradition, apparently to prevent children from getting lost! It has since been used as a way of keeping footpaths clear and open to the public and in 2012 Croxley Green Parish Council purchased signage to mark out the CROXLEY BOUNDARY WALK. Since 2013 there has been an annual run /walk on New Year’s Day around the 10km (6.3 mile) circular route. Our new HISTORICAL BOUNDARY WALK (2023) guide includes some of the sites and former sites of historical interest along the way. Starting on the Green, it passes through some lovely woodland and open fields, skirts along the canal, past the former site of Dickinson’s paper mill, continuing over the moor and along the Ebury Way, past the Great Barn, Scotsbridge Mill and the river Chess and back to the Green.
